#InternationalJournalistRemembranceDay #ViolenceAgainstJournalists
Every November 19th, we commemorate International Journalist Remembrance Day, a solemn occasion dedicated to the memory of journalists who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. Journalists are the guardians of truth, offering vital information to the public. Recognizing their invaluable contributions is essential. Sadly, journalists worldwide encounter threats to their safety. Some are deliberately targeted and killed due to their work, while others fall victim to tragic incidents like bombings. Governments often resort to harassment, intimidation, and violence against journalists covering political stories.
